In this Woodturning video I turn an Ash Crotch log into a natural edge kind. This log was due to be cut up for firewood however as you most likely understand I'm a sucker for anything weird looking that may be a little bit of an obstacle to turn so thought I would give it a go. I don't mind the odd crack in pieces but as you can see, one opened up massively overnight, I did contemplate simply putting it back in the fire wood pile but thought I might also include some epoxy to the crack and complete it off. Thanks for checking it out.

Instant like from me. Your vids are mesmerizing!
Much appreciated!
What an absolutely beautiful piece Andy. The grain is simply gorgeous.
Thank you!
Fantastic grain pattern! Great that you let the crack be recognized by giving it a nice color. Beautiful bowl. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you so much
What a nice thing to wake up to. Resin and coloured pencils are a lot of fun, but a nice natural edge bowl from the most random-looking chunk of firewood is where it’s really at. And when it splits, no worries: a drop of turquoise resin adds not just colour contrast but another dimension. Nice one.
Thankyou
Oh no… a massive crack – the piece is ruined. Andy: “That’s not a crack, that’s a feature.” Me: Oh yes, so it is. Why didn’t I see that. Nice work as usual sir.
Thankyou
Once again, I see firewood, you see art piece. You even turned that crack into a beautiful asset. Well done!
Thank you so much
Fantastic grain on this piece..beautiful
Many thanks!
Another imperfectly perfect treasure! 🩵
Thanks
Yet again totally amazed with this piece of art. The grain pattern is stunning and the addition of the resin is a masterstroke. Fantastic as always Andy
The blue streak gives this piece a special character. You created another work of art Andy 😊
That’s great, Andy. I’m glad you made the crack a feature instead of chucking it back into the firewood pile.

Beautiful sir, I always believe in highlighting cracks or imperfections, instead of trying to mask them – well done. Thanks for sharing.
It’s a high definition of art to show the “damage”… it gives a own class!
Fantastic!!! 🎩👍👍🔨🇩🇪
Glad you didn’t put it back in the wood pile after it cracked. That is a lovely bowl. That crack was an artistic opportunity which worked out very well.
Andy, you did well mate and the patch looks really cool, nice piece.
Beautiful bowl and great grain. Thank you for sharing with us 😊
Another beautiful piece. I think those might be the first words I’ve heard you say!
